Why is Christina Rossetti, one of the finest nineteenth-century poets, so invisible today? This is the central question addressed in this authoritative biography. Rossetti, author of the widely known Goblin Market, My Heart is Like a Singing Bird and In The Deep Midwinter, has long been overshadowed by her more colourful brother, Dante Gabriel. Now this perceptive study, drawing on many previously untapped sources, pieces together a more complete picture of this passionate, contradictory and enigmatic woman.
